Can I pause a macro without locking up EG?

Post by Mastiff »

I have a macro that will take maybe two minutes to run. It's a sequence to close and open the blinds in a room, and there are 11 of them! I want to run the first one 1/3 down, then start the second and so on. But if I do that with the Wait command that will lock up everything else in EG. Is there a way to do this without locking up processing of other events/actions?

Use the action EventGhost.Trigger Event.
Here you can also set a delay, but without blocking.

Thanks! I'll have to make one macro for each roller blind, but at least I won't have that lockup problem. :D
